"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

So I felt like a I got hit by a truck halfway through my healthcare shift. It was awful. Went to my 2nd job and got tested there first thing in the morning. I did not want to risk spreading this to others. Took a half day just in case. Results came back positive. Spent the next 3 days in bed feeling like a horrible flu. I went 2.5 yrs on the front lines avoiding this thing. It was a source of pride for me. Now I feel like a loser lol.

The awesome news is that I used to be 191lbs and it was awfully difficult to get to my target goal of 185lbs. I tried everything. Well CVID did it within 3 days. I look great. I can see my abs. Im actually kinda happy about that. I dont know what ramifications on my job this will cause. This whole Omicron thing is a mess. Its depressing. I was going to make a trip overseas for vacation in 3 weeks but now i dont know.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

No joke that Omicron spreads fast. I know a teacher, her second day back today after holiday break: 10 staff and 7 kids out today…
Her first statement about it ~ “They’re dropping like flies”.

I tested + just before a flight. Asymptomatic at the time. Also in the frontlines since the getgo. My 10 day quarantine included Vit D, melatonin, asa, zyrtec, Vit C, and a shot of whisky. Light exercise. Daily FT check in with the GF who’s also in healthcare. Minimal symptoms. Now I have Natural Immunity.

So did they let you on the flight? Did they refund your money? And was it the first time you tested positive?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

You must be 6' ft. We are exactly the same weight with the same goal of 25-bmi. Sending healing vibes.
I'm anti VAX and this sht is keeping me lying low. Again get healthy, everyone!

omicron isn't as deadly as the previous versions, but highly contagious which is what you'd want anyway since people don't want to get vaccinated, quicker hive immunity reached.
Elaborate some. You in Med industry?

I got the flight rescheduled 3 weeks later, and applied the tickets. So it worked out. Yes, first time. Never + before. I do weekly testing for work as I’m non-vacc.

3 acquaintances in the first 2 years with the pandemic (1 was hospitalized).
Now 12 friends and colleagues positive with symptoms in the last 5 days.
Ir’s inevitable, we’re all going to catch this one sooner or later.
Regardless of vax status, this milder variant and exposure will hopefully put Covid in our rear view mirror.
Good health and safety.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Over a million new cases in the US alone and that's way underreported due to lots of at home tests not getting reported...

Pretty crazy honestly.

Okay this is good to know. I didnt know the airlines policy for this. Hopefully my airline will let me apply the ticket to a later flight. When you travelled abroad did you find a testing site there when it was time to come back?

No testing 90 days after + test. Sort of a limited-time natural immunity.

Glad you’re better. However, this is not chicken pox. “Natural immunity” is short lived in coronaviruses.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Hybrid immunity - though seemingly short lived is the best. You’re good man, every HC front line provider I know has had it.

take heart

Im 5 foot 10 on a good day. I wish i was 6ft. But yes brotha please be safe. This thing sucks. Its a very bad flu. But it does feel like you are being cleansed. Like the virus is detoxifying.
